A tragic love story about a feckless queen and an impoverished revolutionary, based on the life (and death) of Marie Antoinette.
## About This Game
Based on the life (and death) of Marie Antoinette, The End of an Actress is a
tragic romance story set in a fantasy universe with close parallels to late
18th century France.
The kingdom of Artoire was once a force to be reckoned with. Governed by a
string of beloved kings, the nation was wealthy, its people prosperous. That
was in the past, however. Now, Artoire’s fortunes are dwindling as constant
wars and food shortages sweep the land. After innumerable hard years, the
people of Artoire begin to despair. Fearing for the worst, they search for a
messiah who can save them during their time of peril…
And that messiah comes in the form of a fourteen-year-old girl called Liliane.
Liliane is a beautiful, charming, elegant young lady from the foreign land of
Charentes, born to the noble Saint-Coeurs. Betrothed to the future king of
Artoire, Liliane ascends to the throne upon the death of the old monarch, to
public approval and rapturous applause.
With the passing of time, however, the public opinion towards Liliane turns.
It soon transpires that the new queen is vain and flighty, and she cares not
one jot about the plight of the common people. The death toll continues to
rise, new wars loom on the horizon, and despair swells.
Betrayed and helplessly hurt, a young man called Marius becomes a key player
in a revolt that will shake the society of Artoire to its very core. Once a
street urchin enamoured with the queen, and now a lead revolutionary, Marius
is faced with a difficult decision. Can he really bring the queen he once
adored to justice… or will his old feelings ruin all he has been working for?
